It remains to be seen whether the dam itself is a super highlight. But the fact is: The cycle route that leads through here is really beautiful! It is mostly paved, so you can make good progress. However, it is closed to cars and you can enjoy the wonderful tranquility. It was raining when I was here, which is probably why it was particularly quiet. :)

In 1970 the construction of the dam started. The city of Preßnitz and villages such as Rusová (Reischdorf), Dolina (Dörnsdorf) and Kotlina (Köstelwald) were sacrificed for drinking water supply in the Egertal.
